The Pebble Dash

Huddersfield Report written by Saul Muldoon

There was plenty of pebbles and a good deal of dashing to be done in order to get tonight’s task finished on time. Once again we were visiting our Friends at Growing works to help lay some new paths which would improve access at their community allotment.

Cut a couple of inches of turf nice and level, lay in the weed inhibitor sheet, cover with a section of eco-grid and infill with pebbles...et voila a ready made path!

With characteristic enthusiasm Kati Law and Ben Godfrey got stuck in with one path whilst Louise Galvin, Alison Cottam, Tom Wood and David Pizzey tackled another. Meanwhile Zena Whalley and David Bilton got busy pairing a pitting shed.

It was always going to be a tall order to get the job done in an hour but we managed, albeit with a bit of frenetic pebble shoveling in the last few minutes. But by just after 7:30pm we had two brand new sections of path laid and a much prettier looking potting shed. Our Task Master Rachel from Growing works pronounced herself very happy with the fruits of our labours. Well done and thanks to the entire team tonight, great to be doing good on such a beautiful evening.

Thanks to Alison Cottam for the idea for the report title and David Bilton for his kind donation of 5 litter rings....they will be put to good use next week at Snow Island.

Look What We’ve ‘Bin’ Doing!

Huddersfield Report written by Kati Law

Six intrepid GoodGymmers convened at the Rawthorpe Estate this evening to help tidy up the area. Armed with GoodGym Huddersfield’s trusty litter pickers they split into two teams. (Kati’s team and Wendy’s team, as everyone else was called Tom or David!) The challenge was to see who could find a KitKat wrapper, something cherry flavoured and something written in a foreign language. The two teams quickly amassed the usual random array of items. David B found a discarded bin to put his rubbish in. Which lead to this week’s report title (thank you Wendy.) Kati’s team managed to collect slightly more rubbish, but Wendy’s team managed to find a KitKat wrapper and something cherry flavoured. We will be back collecting rubbish on the Rawthorpe Estate again next Tuesday. Will anyone manage to find some rubbish written in a foreign language then?

For the Love of Good

Huddersfield Report written by Saul Muldoon

You have to love GoodGym to come out for a job on a cold, wet October evening. But come out they do, without fail....tonight a total of seven GoodGymmers arrived at Christ Church Moldgreen, ready and willing to get busy.

The church has a congregation comprising largely older people, so they sometimes need a little help in to keep the churchyard looking neat. As such tonight's task was to tidy the churchyard, sweeping leaves, weeding and generally making the place look better.

Kati Law, Ben Godfrey, Zena Whalley, Tom Elcock, Thom Wood and David all swiftly stuck into the task and soon had the place tidy, making access to the church safer and more pleasant for everyone who uses it.

Glamour and Sickle

Huddersfield Report written by Saul Muldoon

Okay so suggesting GoodGym is glamorous may be stretching the bounds of credibility a bit, but tasks that benefit our local community are definitely a worthwhile way to spend a Saturday morning. And with 8 GoodGymmers all prepared to work hard, there’s an awful lot that can be achieved in a couple of hours.

Under the supervision of Andy Goff from Kirklees Council, today’s task was to tackle an overgrown footpath in Almondbury Bank Wood. The wood is usually maintained by a local conservation group, but on this occasion they wanted a little assistance from GoodGym to ensure the path remained passable for local people using this lovely little local wood.

Andy came equipped with an impressive array of tools from trimming, chopping and cutting, and Ben Godfrey had also brought along his trusty sickle or bramble bashing, so we were certainly well tooled up for the task ahead.

We also had a visitor from York, it was nice to see Leanne Allsopp working hard with us once again. Other hard workers included, Kati Law, Louise Galvin, Thom Wood, David, Tom Elcock and the aforementioned Ben Godfrey. Between us all we got loads of vegetation cut back, the pathway is clear and a bank is now prepared for planting some bulbs when we return to the site in a couple of weeks time.

In my book you are all superstars....and if you have 8 superstars in one place that has to be a pretty glamorous get together. So maybe GoodGym jobs do enjoy a bit of glamour after all!
